Cyclone lands severe blows on trees, plants in Nageswara Rao Park. Place is flooded.

Cyclone Mandous has landed severe blows on the trees and plants inside Nageswara Rao Park in Luz.

And the continuous rain on Friday has flooded most parts of this large, verdant park which is a popular haunt for walkers, fitness enthusiasts and seniors.

Since the park does not have an efficient drain system, the rainwater has stagnated in all corners of the park.

Many trees have shed their branches and many shrubs and plants have bent backwards in the gusty wind of the cyclone.

In the past, it needed huge efforts to conserve and repair the damage here after two cyclones hit the city.

Sundaram Finance, which has been funding the management of this popular park for many years, had to work hard with its team working at this park to restore this place after the past disasters
